"Start with the dolls." The original source of this sentence seems to be what Master Deng said: "Education should start from the baby." Later, it was widely used. In the end, it became that in order to develop a certain field, you must start from the baby, such as football.

Regardless of whether this sentence is used badly or not, the truth is quite right anyway, after all, the plasticity of children is unparalleled.

From his daughter, Zhao Weiji suddenly thought of a question, that is, whether the things taught in primary school are suitable for every child, or whether these children have the energy to learn something else. After all, my Tsinghua Academy is a comprehensive institution, and it is really a good thing that the primary school is too monotonous.

But Zhao Weiji, who came from later generations, knew that if children learned too many things, their nature would be suppressed. You can't pass it on to a child from a thousand years ago just because you had a hard childhood.

Suddenly, Zhao Weiji thought of a system, that is, elective. Anyway, now that Tsinghua Academy has graduated a lot of so-called sideways students, it is better to find some graduates and open some basic and interesting other subjects for children to learn and try to see what they are willing to learn.

So Zhao Weiji went to find Mr. Liu Ao, the dean of the academy, and wanted to hear his opinion.

Liu Ao still admires Zhao Weiji, when Zhao Weiji came to him to enlighten his children, he was very reluctant, because Zhao Weiji's reputation in Shilin is actually not very good, except for the creation of "Shilin Daily" and some good words in the newspaper, the rest of the things are disdainful or shameful by Shilin.

But Zhao Weiji used two articles to suppress Liu Ao, one is the "Three Character Classic" (of course, some are deleted) and the other is "Disciple Rules". The role of these two articles in the enlightenment education of children can only be described as perfect. Although there have been "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names" before, "Thousand Character Text" is jerky and difficult to understand after all, and "Hundred Family Names" can only be used for literacy, unlike "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules" can not only teach children literacy, but also teach children the most basic principles of life, and some common sense of literature and history.

Therefore, based on these two articles, Liu Ao is willing to enlighten Zhao Weiji's daughter. And after arriving in Huating, Liu Ao also had a great improvement in Zhao Weiji's Tsinghua Academy.

These things are not exactly the sideways that the outside world accuses, and many things are directly related to life. For example, engineering has already made a lot of contributions to agriculture, and there are also new types of ships. There are also business students, Huating has today's prosperity, and their contributions are not few. The students of law have greatly improved the atmosphere in the two Zhejiang provinces, and the number of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases has decreased considerably.

Liu Ao saw all of this, as one of the founders of Bailu Academy, he was not an old stubborn eater. The four bodies are not diligent, and the grains are not divided, so there are not a few words that criticize Confucianism since ancient times. Therefore, Liu Ao knows that these things that are closely related to life may be great wisdom. Gradually, Liu Ao accepted these things.

So when Zhao Weiji came to him to discuss the opening of a new class, he did not express any disacceptance or dissatisfaction. Because in fact, he also knows the students' performance in class, and some of them are like Zhao Ling'er or Liu Yong, who quickly memorize an article, and then have nothing to do. There are also children who are usually not stupid, but they are very troubled by the recitation of articles.

Instead of that, it might be a good idea to start some new classes and see if you can find a different kind of talent for the children. After all, every teacher hopes that their students can grow up and be successful.

In this way, Zhao Weiji's reform movement began, and while retaining the original basic Confucian education, new arithmetic, calligraphy, painting, music, and physical arts (in fact, physical education) were introduced. Among them, only calligraphy and physical arts are compulsory, and the others are elective.

Calligraphy, painting, and music were compulsory courses for literati in their own right, and Liu Ao had nothing to object to, while physical art was specially opened by Zhao Weiji out of concern for the health of all children. Mathematics is his private work, after all, he really needs science talents, and arithmetic is originally called the foundation of natural science. Therefore, Zhao Weiji hopes to discover more science talents through here.

It's really like to confirm Li Bai's poems, I was born to be useful. After the new subjects were launched, many children found their places in other fields, and even geniuses like Zhao Linger found fun in several fields. So the reform proceeded smoothly.

At the same time that Yucai Academy was being reformed, the first batch of exiles from Shu had already arrived in Huating, and they were placed in the designated place.

The number of the outcasts in this group was not very large, because not all of them believed that the nobles would be so kind to solve the problem of food for them.

Of course, Zhao Weiji is not so kind, it is impossible for him to raise tens of thousands or even more people for nothing, the reason why he plans to collect so many displaced people is because he has thought of a good way to solve the problem of displaced people, that is, to work for relief. I offer you the opportunity to work, and then I pay you, and then you fill your belly with the money you earn.

This was originally a good way to provide disaster relief, but it required the state to invest in a lot of projects, but at this time, the Great Song Dynasty had already occupied too much of the treasury by high military expenditures and officials, and there was no spare energy to do such a thing.

But Zhao Weiji is different, the development of the Chamber of Commerce in recent years has made great progress in all its franchisees, and the lack of people has become a common problem for commercial banks. And soon, Zhao Weiji needs to start planting corn in a large area, and he also needs a lot of manpower, so now the most important thing in Huating is jobs.

……

When Huating began to gradually absorb these displaced people, the wave of uprisings in Shu was getting higher and higher. Due to the lack of Zhang Xi's troops, the officers and troops were defeated and retreated.

In the end, Zhang Xi had no choice but to gather all the remaining troops in a vain attempt to start a decisive battle with Wang Xiaobo.

The two armies met in Gangwon County.

This was the first real meeting between Wang Xiaobo and Zhang Xi on the battlefield.

But when the two armies fought head-on, Zhang Xi found that Wang Xiaobo's troops were even more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

"General, it's not good, the morale of the rebels is too strong, and our army is gradually unable to withstand it."

Due to the successive victories of the rebels and the retreat of the officers and armies, when the two armies were in a decisive battle, the victory and defeat were already divided in terms of morale.

The morale of the rebels can only be described as sharp, and the officers and soldiers said that he was a compliment. And because Wang Xiaobo's previous propaganda was very in place. These soldiers, who joined the army because they had no food, were shaken by Wang Xiaobo's slogan that they were rich and poor. There were not a few defectors before the battle, so the battle could no longer be fought.

But at this time, Zhang Xi couldn't help but fight this battle, because the imperial court was slow to send reinforcements in, and Shu was constantly being eaten away by the rebels.

"Let the crossbowmen get on and see if the bow and arrow will work wonders." Seeing that there was really no way, Zhang Xi could only send a company of crossbowmen.

The crossbowmen really had a miraculous effect, and under the baptism of a large number of arrows, the rebels suffered heavy casualties, and the leader Wang Xiaobo was hit by an arrow.

But what Zhang Xi didn't expect was that Wang Xiaobo didn't care about the blood flowing after being hit by the arrow, and still fought bravely, Wang Xiaobo's move infected every rebel present. As a result, the rebels actually broke out with an even stronger will to fight than just now.

On the side of the official army, because the reserve of arrows was not sufficient, they quickly ran out of arrows on their bodies.

Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the official family finally lost its support, and soon collapsed, and even Zhang Xi died in the battle.

As a result of this battle, almost all the west of Chengdu was occupied by the rebels, and now the rebels are aiming at Chengdu, the capital of Shu.

However, the rebels were not completely without losses, although Wang Xiaobo killed Zhang Xi in the battle, but he was also injured by an arrow that could not be cured, and unfortunately died that night.

However, the rebels did not break up because of Wang Xiaobo's death, and his brother-in-law Li Shun was elected as the leader and continued to lead the rebels to Chengdu.

Zhang Xi's death soon reached the imperial court, and this time the imperial court was completely shocked.

"How so, can any of you explain it to me?" The last time Zhao Guangyi was so angry may have been when Li Jiqian defeated the Great Song Dynasty in Xiazhou.

So it is conceivable that Zhao Guangyi was angry at this time, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty not only couldn't defeat the foreigners, but even the local peasants. Can this not make Zhao Guangyi, who was born in the army, angry?

"Zhang Shu, you come out and explain to me, this is your plan? Integrating the military power of Shu can quell the rebellion? Do they just need time? That's what you say it takes time? Didn't I give them time, and the result in exchange was the annihilation of the entire army and the fall of half of Xichuan? ”

At this time, Zhang Shu was already stupid, he didn't expect that the Xichuan Xiang Army would be completely wiped out after only resisting for ten months. In his plan, even if the Xichuan Xiangjun couldn't be defeated, it would be able to drag on for a few years, but he didn't expect it to be gone so soon.

Just when Zhang Shu was speechless, Zhao Heng stood up.

"Father, the top priority now should be to drop the forbidden army and go to quell the rebellion, not to hold anyone responsible. Erchen suggested that the king of Wuyue should be transferred back to Beijing immediately, and he brought the forbidden army into Shu to quell the rebellion. ”

Why did you let Zhao Weiji come out to lead the troops at this time, it was because Cao Bin had been sick for more than half a year, and Zhao Guangyi had sent someone to visit him before, but he didn't expect Cao Bin to be bedridden, and the whole person was too thin to form a shape. Cao Bin in this state could not lead his troops to fight at all.

In addition, the reason for the first selection of the coach is the same, no one else can move, so Zhao Weiji can only be used.

Although Zhao Guangyi was reluctant in his heart, there was really no one available at this time. So he had no choice but to make an order: "Recall King Wu Yue back to the capital." ”

In this way, Zhao Weiji is going to the battlefield again.
